No ! you don't deserve to die at all you are kind hearted good human . Now stop letting this horrific monster we call OCD get the better of you and stop reassurance seeking as it will make it worse and oh boy it does i remember

Hi guys ! a lot of you won't remember me as i haven't been on here in a long time seen as i beat OCD'S ass a couple of years ago now and i am an ex-sufferer now and my Purely obsessional OCD is basically non existent and i may get a spike like once or twice a year but if i do it only lasts a day as i have learnt how to combat it and eliminate it but anyway ... I am currently un-employed and trying my hardest to get a job so in the day as I'm not working i just go to the gym as i am a bodybuilder now and when i get home i look for jobs and chill with mates thats what my typical day is but for some reason and i have had this a while now i have this thing with time like i don't like getting up too late or going to the gym past 12 and say if i didn't end up getting to the gym till 2pm i would be really anxious for some reason and i would rush my gym session which is not good for me as i do bodybuilding . But it is like i have some kind of OCD with time and routine , i mean its not severely bad its just annoying that i get stressed if I'm not at the gym or set off by 12 when i have all day literally but for some reason i have to be there early as i can. Anyone else had this ?

Yes ! its OCD ! NOT YOU always remember that ITS OCD NOT YOU , OCD will you make you believe and feel things so intense it feels real and true but in actual fact its just OCD playing games and trying to get and you act for you !!! so you have to stay strong and dont react to the thoughts you get , just either ignore them and if there to intense to ignore then do a activity to take your mind off things e.g walking , video games or listening to music and singing out loud in particular helped me , Stay strong and dont let it win

Thanks symps07 i sure will ! Of course Taurean and btw i still remember you ! and ill always be grateful for all help you gave me in my dark days but anyway when i get a thought attacking me or coming into my head i kinda know its there and come but i just ignore it and carry on doing what im doing and it goes within 5 mins and never comes back but if its a nastier more intense thought i will like sing a song to push it out of way or like start talking to myself about something i like or going on to take my mind off it and it goes ! and then when i get a big spike like now and the most intense Pure-O thoughts i do the same techniques but it doesnt go ! and you get the anxiety and all that on you but i just fight harder and use the same techniques !! I have come a long way since my dark days ! so much so my now old therapist even said i could easily become a psychologist because i know so much about the brain and how it works especially OCD and i am a very intelligent person anyway and i also have a 6th sense wich is quite weird lol my brain is beautiful !!! i take all my problems iv had such as ADHD/OCD as positives because its made me a smart person ,its give me natural talents and abilites a normal person wouldnt have and its give me a better understanding of the brain and how we work and i even did some motivational/advise talks last year with OCD groups for teens .. as im only 18 myself ! and if i was to give 1 best tip and must ! is NOT TO INTERACT OR ANSWER BACK THE THOUGHT !

My OCD has crept back in froma spike i had 2 days a go :mad2: because i was researching a problem iv been having and in one of the possible causes it said "latent homosexuality" so BOOM ! that was it a huge spike and now my HOCD ( HomosexualOCD) has come back for the 1st time properly in over a year !! iv been practically clean from any "thoughts" or OCD in over a year so much so i would even call my self an ex-sufferer really but it just goes to show it can creep up at anytime even if you have been clean from OCD for over 5 years it can always creep up ! .. but it should go soon ! as im really good at countering the thoughts and i know how to get rid im an OCD pro :lol: hahaha ! no but it is horrible and its annoying as hell ! especially as i have a girlfriend So im just asking for some moral support more than advice as i just need some morale

Thanks guys <3

Yes its 100% normal ! and you ruminating and posting on here asking for reassurance is gonna make it worse ... when you get the thought just try your god damn hardest to ignore it remember its the OCD not YOU ! so when you get the OCD for e.g saying " You like them tight pants on him" dont get worried and spike and think OMG i must just say loud and proud WHATEVER OCD breath in and ignore the thought thats helped me soooo much ! but try not to interact with the thought try your hardest to ignore it and say whatever

She was fine

Problem solved haha ... i sent it back
